Tabla Beat Science - Tala Matrix (2000)

The tabla is a North Indian hand drum invented in the 13th century and is traditionally used to accompany sitar and vocals. Tabla Beat Science, an international all-star ensemble of five virtuoso tabla players and producer Bill Laswell breathe new life into this ancient instrument on their debut Tala Matrix. An amazing fusion between electronica and tradition, the album sounds surprisingly organic, as multiple layers of ruminant drumming unfold  in combination with Laswells narcotic synthie effects.
